C              F
I've been away 
C                F
a year and a day
C                            F
You recognize love after the fact
C                                     F
You did what you did and that was that

Em        Am
Don't say words 
Em             Am
that you don't mean
Em             G                      C     F  C     F
When I'm gone, please speak well of me

C                F
Looking back now
C                            F
I only wish I had been kinder
      C                               F
Did I ever know love, did I ever know love?
C                              F
And could I have been blinder?


Em        Am
Don't say words 
Em             Am
that you don't mean
Em             G                      C     F  C     F
When I'm gone, please speak well of me
Em         Am
Don't hold back 
Em       Am
all your love 
F           G
for someday, for someday

C                         F
I would say that I'm sorry 
C                       F
if it would do any good
C                                        F
But to never regret means you have to forget
C                              F
and I don't think that I could 

Em        Am
Don't say words 
Em             Am
that you don't mean
Em            Em
When I'm gone, When I'm gone, 
Em             G                       C    F
When I'm gone, please speak well of me
